MAN AND STEER DEAD.
NAN AND STEER DEAD.
Terrible Fight Between a Farmer and a
Mad Brute.

Mad Brute.
F. w. Flowerdew, a farmer living
alone many miles west Of here, was
out in q field, stepping OFF a portion 10
plow, when he noticed range steer
about half mile distant. He went
on with the measurement, but pres
emily hearing something approach,
turned and saw the steer coming al
him, full speed, head down and about
twenty yards away. Mr.. Flowerdew
was not armed and his only way to
avoid being struck by the first charge
was 10 dodge II, which he did. The
steer turned and came again, but not
with so much force, and Flowerdew
succeeded in getting his right hand
into his LOstrils. Here the battle be-
gan between man and beast. To the
one II meant life or death. to the
other II made no difference.
For area they had 200 square
miles of level plain, in the center
Of which the sky drooped to the
earth to form the boundary of the
scene of action. No Caesar was there TO
crown the victor. and no amphithes-
ter in Rome grandeur to applaud. The
nose was the best place Flowderdew
could have got hold Of the maddened
brute, and backward and forward they
struggled. The steer WAS three years
olo. and rs Flowerdew is tall and
powerful man, IL made nearly equal
fight. For nearly half al hour they
struggled. All the while Flowerdew
was working his way 20 the house, in
front Of which be secured u heavy
cluo. When be got hold Of this he bad
little better show and commenced TO
pound the steer over the head and
nose. This the steer stood and suffer-
ed, but the minute the pounding stop
ped the brute charged and had 10 be
beaten off. The last desperate effort
made by the steer Knocked Flowerdew
to the ground. Although the animal
was fast failing from loss Of blood, IL
gored the victim horribly. Flower.
dew's injuries were almost immediate
ly fatal. The steer, from loss Of blood
and exhaustion, fell dead AT his side.-
